Question 9 • CMS 2026-2027 Biology CREDIT RECOVERY

A purebred plant that has yellow flowers is crossed with a purebred plant that has white flowers. All the offspring have yellow flowers. Which conclusion about yellow flowers is supported by these results?

Answer
A
Yellow flower color is a heterozygous trait.
B
Yellow flower color is a dominant trait.
C
Yellow flower color is a monohybrid trait.
D
Yellow flower color is a recessive trait.

Explanation

The purebred yellow plant has two copies of the yellow-color allele, and the purebred white plant has two copies of the white-color allele. Since every offspring has yellow flowers, the yellow allele masks the white allele in the offspring. This supports the conclusion that yellow flower color is dominant.
